Why Sunday

[Esaias]

So, if we honour parents always, including today, and that is natural, then we should keep the sabbath day on until today since that is also natural. Why do you insist that because something natural continues until today, then everything natural continues until today? Why do you continue to insist that belonging to the ten commandments means it must continue to today just because it is obvious some of the commandments continue to today? Even if one thing that is natural is meant to continue until today, LIKE FORBIDDENCE TO MURDER -- then eveyrthing natural in the commandments must continue to today just because they're in the commandments, and for no other reason?

I am pointing out that your argumentation leads to conclusions nobody - including you - accept, therefore your argumentation is wrong. An argument that proves too much proves nothing. You still have not identified the verse that teaches "only 9 of the ten commandments are still valid".

Who is inconsistent? You do not travel to natural Jerusalem for your feasts that you keep, because there is a spiritual Jerusalem. You forget all about that when you discuss insistence on sabbath day despite their natural characteristic. You are inconsistent in keeping SOME of what is natural and not all others. In fact, naturally keeping the feasts on the very days the natural calendar shows you to, mixed together with refusal to go to natural Jerusalem on those feast days that required it in Leviticus, is way beyond inconsistency in the same breath and the same chapter in Leviticus as far as you are concerned today.

Wrong. I have always stated these things are done in a NEW COVENANT CHRIST-CENTERED CONTEXT. You are now taking the position of the Pharisees in claiming Christian obedience to the commandments of God is INCORRECT AND INSUFFICIENT because adherence to the OLD COVENANT METHODOLOGY is not being followed. Hebrews EXPLICITLY STATES the law of sacrifice and offerings, priesthood, etc has been CHANGED.

Your theology is somewhat underdeveloped because you do not understand the difference between ADMINISTRATIONS nor do you have any clearly defined understanding of the multiple uses of the generic word "law" as used in Scripture.


You also assert the Sabbath "is distinctly called a shadow" but that is not actually the case. Even if it was (t's not) your line of reasoning would do away with at least the Lord's Supper and at most all eating and drinking whatsoever. So once again, your position is seriously flawed.
